Hekayat 33: A minister showed mercy to his subordinates.

حکایت شماره ۳۳: یکی از وزرا به زیردستان رحم کردی و صلاح ایشان را به خیر توسط نمودی.

One of the ministers showed mercy to his subordinates and facilitated their well-being through good mediation.

یکی از وزرا به زیردستان رحم کردی و صلاحِ ایشان را به خیر توسّط نمودی.

Coincidentally, he was caught in the king's displeasure.

اتفاقاً به خطابِ ملِک گرفتار آمد.

Everyone tried their best to secure his release, and the officials showed leniency in his punishment, and the elders praised his good character so much that the king forgave his anger towards him.

همگنان در مَواجِبِ استخلاصِ او سعی کردند و مُوَکَّلان در مُعاقبتش ملاطفت نمودند و بزرگانْ شکرِ سیرتِ خوبش به اَفواه بگفتند تا ملک از سرِ عتابِ او درگذشت.

In order to win the hearts of friends

It is worth selling the paternal garden.

ﺗﺎ دلِ دوﺳﺘﺎن ﺑﻪ دﺳﺖ ﺁری

ﺑﻮﺳﺘﺎنِ ﭘﺪر ﻓﺮوﺧﺘﻪ ﺑﻪ

For cooking the pot of well-wishers

It is worth burning all the belongings of the house.

پختنِ دیگِ نیکخواهان را

هر چه رختِ سراست سوخته به

Even with the ill-intentioned, do good

It is worth sewing the dog's mouth with a morsel.

ﺑﺎ ﺑﺪاﻧﺪﻳﺶ هم ﻧﻜﻮﻳﻰ کن

دهنِ ﺳﮓ ﺑﻪ ﻟﻘﻤﻪْ دوﺧﺘﻪ ﺑﻪ
